Opening Sequence Equipment List

I will use a Nikon D5100 for the most part of the filming and a Flip camera for the shots from underwater using a waterproof case.

 This is the Flip Camera and case I will use for the under waters clips.

The Nikon D5100 Camera I will used in filming.

I was originally going to use a tripod for my filming, however as I wanted to create a professional looking piece I a going use a Kessler Crane because it will give very smooth, professional looking image throughout the filming. The majority of my opening sequence involves the character walking away or towards the camera so the Kessler Crane will suit this type of filming as it can follow the character smoothly.

This is the crane I will be using in the filming.

I will not be using any lighting for my opening sequence as the shadows created by the trees will give a spine chilling atmosphere perfectly suited to a film of a thriller genre. I have already taken photos from the filming location and believe using extra lighting would harm the dark feel created by the combination of the natural light and the dark shadows created.

This is a shot showing the filming location taken from my iPhone.

To edit my clips after filming I will use the editing software 'Final Cut Pro'. When used correctly the software can help create an incredibly professional and compelling piece of film.
